The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4556-1 advisory.

It was discovered that netqmail did not properly handle certain input. Both remote and local attackers     could use this vulnerability to cause netqmail to crash or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2005-1513,     CVE-2005-1514, CVE-2005-1515)

It was discovered that netqmail did not properly handle certain input when validating email addresses. An     attacker could use this to bypass email address validation. (CVE-2020-3811)

It was discovered that netqmail did not properly handle certain input when validating email addresses. An     attacker could use this vulnerability to cause netqmail to disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2020-3812)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
